15 Things Every Archbishop Molloy Alumn Will Understand

Graduating from Archbishop Molloy High School in Briarwood, Queens is simultaneously the sweetest and hardest goodbye to its' many alumnae. Without even realizing it, we were carried into the threshold of adulthood through hall ways inspired by St. Anne's Academy and Saint Marcellin Champagnat. A huge portion of AMHS touched each of our lives, but the silly little every day aspects can mean so much more, maybe these 15 ring a bell.

1. No Matter What Anyone Says, You Are A Stanner.

Calling all St. Anners! It's no secret that during Molloy days we thought our name was lame, but we all know we stood by it, and our Stanner Manner, proudly.

2. Doc's Cave.

Dougherty's room was the homeroom hub, cramped but cozy.

3. Trivia Fridays

We all remember what a trip to room 123 usually meant, detention. ( And it's Friday, ugh.) Have no fear though, answer one trivia question right and earn your ticket to freedom. (Thanks Shannon!)

4. "Sweating is Sexy!" - R.R.

Who else but the Rodge Man?

5. The Glass Booth. Enough Said.

The allotted destination to make phone calls? Yes; but more commonly known as the kick it spot for seniors during free periods.

6. You'll Remember Your ID Number Like The Back Of Your Hand.

12-314, how about you?

7. The Best Thing About Junior Year Was Getting A Top Locker.

With college preparation beginning to veer its head, SATs, ACTs, and taking physics and trigonometry in the same year; it felt really good to no longer have to squat to get your books.

8. "Even or Odd?"

It was a great feeling when one of your classmates asked where you were going, you responded "even side" ( or "odd side") & they knew exactly what you were talking about.

9. Senior Polos

Hands down the best perk of being a senior.


10. Spot a TA?

Unroll your skirt, throw out your gum, un-break your locker, and put on your lanyard. FAST.

11. Locker Checks Were Every Upperclassmen's Worse Nightmare.

The pink slip of paper that fell out of your broken locker meant business.

12. The Freshman Backpack Epidemic Was Real.

At one point or another during our first year at Molloy, each of us rocked the freshman backpack. And each year after, we swear they got bigger and bigger with every new class.

13. Spirit Week Was The Biggest Deal.

14. Stay Stanner, Stanner High.

Thank you Liam Moyles for your lovely trademark sign off during morning announcements.

15. Dear Esopus: At first I was a part of you, then you became a part of me.

Whether your first experience was at freshman camp, a retreat, the special camps, or your senior encounter; this beautiful place is special to many and a home to, too many more.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
